John Hines co-developed a popular simulation GUI (“gooey”) named for these cells. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these cells that are often mathematically modeled as telegraph cables, connected through their axons and dendrites.
ANSWER: neurons [or neurones or nerve cells]
[10h] Biologists today prefer models like NEURON in this research paradigm to finicky in vivo experiments. This two-word Latin term describes any experiment run on a computer.
ANSWER: in silico
[10m] Though now commonplace in AI, models like “integrate-and-fire” were first used in computational neuroscience to predict these events. The Hodgkin-Huxley model correctly predicts the pulses of potassium concentration that occur during these events.
ANSWER: action potentials [accept hyperpolarization or depolarization or repolarization; prompt on neural spike or neuron firing or nervous impulses]
